"I don't have cat allergies but I do sneeze quite a lot around cats" - Jane, explaining cat allergies

[@jameshart2622]

Yeah, that seems like "I have allergies _and_ denial."

[@larrywalsh9939]

Actually, people who are allergic to cats aren't actually allergic to the cats themselves, it's a specific protein that the cats exude in their saliva, the purpose of it is to act as a detergent for when they're grooming their fur. When it dries and falls off as cat dander, that's what causes histamine reactions in allergic people. I've always been in the case of "I'm allergic to cats, except my cats" - that's because with some people, more exposure to a particular allergen increases their tolerance to it. But with cats, since it's that protein, which varies from cat to cat, I simply developed a histamine resistance to my cats in particular. Odd, but it works.

[@notoriousresearcher]

@@larrywalsh9939 Interesting, but if Jane is sneezing specifically around cats enough for her to have noticed it that's probably still an allergy to cat dander, isn't it? 😂 Unless there was some other common factor she didn't realize

[@larrywalsh9939]

@@notoriousresearcher oh, yes, it’s absolutely an allergy to cat dander- she was probably only immune to her family cats due to exposure

[@khamjaninja.]

@@larrywalsh9939 She said she wasn't allergic as a child. Presumably, she developed the allergy as an adult.

[@arvidfrykman9850]

Oh, goodie goodie gumdrops! Another chance... nay, OPPORTUNITY, to watch Ellen descend into a cuteness-induced dissociative fugue-state!

Since it came up a few times, the Covid lockdown streams are my favorite content, not just from OxBoxTra, but on the whole Internet. I rewatch them about 5 times a year

[@evillordbeerus2455]

"Little Lord Andy Farrantleroy" invites you to his presence. Those that fail to arrive in a timely manner will be found, beaten, and brought to his presence, so please, arrive early.

[@mar_speedman]

I thought this was exaggerating but somehow I was found despite not even living in Britain!

[@evillordbeerus2455]

[@tino9718]

Aaah, all the ingredients of a cosy stream - the Futurama dog, dead pets, cats eating their owner's faces, horse teeth in the Thames …

[@abydosianchulac2]

Lord Andy invites you into his presence at 0:31.

[@SolomonTheBard]

I didn't expect lord Andy's very lordly pose when I clicked the time stamp, made your comment so funny

[@Lex-hearts-you]

While I did the lag and the shutters annoying while watching, I loved listening to this stream. Awesome chill vibes as you guys chatted. ❤

[@CorwinAlexander]

Setting up Just Crow Things for multiplayer would be just murder

[@micahnewby7964]

I see what you did there

[@alexcooper4544]

Multiplayer? Or Crow-op?

[@TheYorkRose]

I love Andy but if we're allowed to set him the homework of watching several hours of Jane unpacking boxes he might start the cosy streams with 30% less noise, stress and sarcasm 😉💖💖 Edit: p.s. if Andy could start the chaos steam with 30% more of all 3 I will appreciate that equally

[@Shirafune161]

I expect Prince Andy to be wearing a little cravat and a powdered wig next time, now that his identity is revealed.

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Stream starts at 0:32! Kitty shenanigans happen not long after!

[@shasshybear9222]

LADS!

LADS!

Thanks my dude

[@CorwinAlexander]

The stream started the exact moment I read your comment.

[@dennyspence4210]

..the cat returns (studio ghibli) doesn't seem as strange but still only a few left unwatched

[@typacsk]

Glad to see that Ellen kept her ability to turn into a cat, even after Merilwen's story got wrapped up

[@Grubbyfoot]

Ooh you mentioned the cut sleeve from a Chinese manuscript, and it's actually a really cool bit of queer history! In the original story, the emperor was snuggled up with his "Favourite" (read: male lover) and had to go to court. To avoid waking his sleeping boyfriend he cut part of he sleeve off, and so attended court with a rather bold new asymmetric look. When the story spread amongst the court, they started cutting their own sleeves to emulate the Emperor's style, either to flatter him or to suggest that they too had a sleeping lover back home whom they cared enough for to cut their sleeve. I'm not sure whether the story itself is apocryphal or not, but it was certainly retold in oral tradition as a paragon example of romantic love. Sadly in modern times the story is often retold with the lover replaced by a dog or cat, because modern Chinese homophobes like to pretend that queerness is a western invention that is just recently arrived in China, hence the version Jane heard. More details (and sources) can be found on the History Is Gay podcast if you're interested. Now what was I doing? Oh yes cat video 😁

[@madalice5134]

I've never heard of the History Is Gay Podcast. Thank you so much for mentioning it here. 💗

[@mycroftstark6779]

Never knew Andy has the confidence of horses when he was a kid

[@pathogenofdecay]

Jane: "I hear a sparkling, jingling sound." Me: _Flashbacks to the old Lego Star Wars games and their minikit canisters_

[@eduardoarmenta9232]

31:01 I was waiting for the Hitman comparison, I'm glad it came this natural as well

[@barbararowley6077]

If you’ve only got a mild cat allergy you can build up a tolerance by being around cats, which is probably what happened when Jane had her cat. Exposure therapy - under strict supervision - has also been useful for serious allergies like peanut ones. But I wouldn’t blame Andy for not wanting to risk it - I’m not prepared to risk it with mine (limonene and some other citrus oils). Anaphylaxis is not fun. Love watching Ellen play a cute cat game! Always wholesome and delightful.

[@SimonBuchanNz]

I did find it funny to read a news story with the headline being roughly "amazing new peanut allergy", and the body being basically "we give them a little bit of peanut oil until they're cured!" Like, really, you hadn't tried that before?

[@ezekielgskeen8607]

really great to see you lady' and gent having a fun conversation and keep spirits high in this time Awesome show for the longest!👍👍👍👍

[@katfromthekong414]

Much needed dose of high-level wholesomeness and low-key banter! 💚

[@RealGrover]

This one wins the loveliest stream of all time award! Thanks so much.

[@phuzz00]

Man, how did I get all the way through this game without realising the hats worked as disguises?!

[@danmanx4804]

It's like Hitman. Or I think you mean...Agent FUR-ty Seven?

[@kethryverisk4224]

The talk of bodega cats just reminds me of The Unsleeping City (where a bodega cat is one of the character's warlock patron.)

[@nutsymcgregor]

I would have assumed Andy was Count Farrantula, not a Prince at all.

[@dee...]

I enjoyed the mid crow throwback.

[@MrMessyy]

Loving the streams! Such a fantastic way to finish the working week

[@claretravels783]

I also appreciate Andy having a haunted mansion fact for every occasion, and I don't even care about disneyworld

[@Icam_here]

nice stream to relax with, great to see that Ellen got the cat back home

[@claretravels783]

Absolutely floored by the revelation that Andy has never seen a Ghibli fim...huge if true. And this needs to be rectified ASAP

[@jvwriter9028]

When I was little our cat who liked to hang out in the laundry got washed in the washing machine. She was fine was only in there for little a minute before my mom heard her. The vet did tell us that the washing machine was better than the dryer.

[@AdamusPrime24]

Loved that Ellen finally got to this XD I played most of this before the stream happened and didn't know you could name the cat, so when that happened at the end for me, I was moved with happiness because I had to name him after our family's black cat 'Fred', because he was the kindest, gentlest cat soul you ever knew, so with this I can have a Fred again ^^

[@mikeriches363]

Commenting for the first time in my life, nearly 20 years after this aftermath of a small tornado in an unpopulated area platform, that I support Jane loving the Weakerthans.

[@AngelBeatYunara]

This was such an adorable stream!

[@elizabethguarnieri6606]

Watching Ellen play cat games almost brings me as much joy as playing cat games. Loved Little Kitty, Big City, was also super easy to get all the achievements

[@Eckister]

whosoever made this is a brilliant animator! 🤩🤩🤩😍 noooo Andy - start with "Grave of the fireflies", that ought to take the "I don't watch anime, I'm an adult" out of you...

[@zacharysmith4856]

Excellent and wonderful! Nice job, Ellen! Banh Mi was adorable.

[@zerin25]

Nah, my headcanon is that Luke finally found out about Ellen's trip to Legoland, and couldn't handle it.

[@nickdejager8873]

Andy is right, cats hide when they are going to die. They are afraid predators will find their body, and they want to keep their family safe.

[@ShinyHubCaps]

This game is so wholesome! 10/10, I needed a game that is both fun and wholesome

[@langdon7x]

I'm 35 this year and only just watched the main big Ghibli movies within the last year. You're not alone Andy.

1:04:35 "Why did no one tell me this game is like _Hitman_ but you're a cat?" Well that's a quote for the GotY edition box cover.

[@Renanbso]

This stream has revealed much new lore about Andy's posh upbringing

[@TransmitHim]

Look, just because Andy grew up with a different pony to ferry him between every room in his mansion, doesn't mean he's posh. That's just how the countryside works.

[@larrywalsh9939]

The game's designed to have you seek out and eat four fish in order to finish it. I didn't know that and somehow finished it twice with only three fish.

[@Arke_PG]

I'd seen something the other day, which was suggesting that cats socialise to whichever animal group cats grow up around (if they are healthily integrated into the group) they then see themselves as being the same as their family unit

I have been waiting to see Ellen play this since it hit Games Pass

[@MrMBinder]

25:06 - Andy getting roasted for not watching Ghibli films. Just skip the Ghibli movies and jump straight into the deep end. Watch Call of The Night / Yofukashi no Uta. It's got vampires, romance, and a banging soundtrack.

[@MrMBinder]

Oh, and my comment about avoiding Japan when it's 40°C and humid is just a heads-up. Do go to Japan if you get an opportunity, the summer scenery is amazing with every bit of plant life from forests to rice fields being as lush as you can imagine. Tokyo is a concrete oven in my opinion, and it feels way worse than somewhere rural where you can go for a walk in a forest or maybe get to some mountains. Damn, I want to go to Japan again 😅

I don't think it's "we had a bunch of animals" that's tagging Andy as inordinately wealthy and privileged - it's that he can afford to travel to a bunch of foreign nations. I can't afford to travel. I can barely afford to eat - and Andy's claiming that he's not privileged and wealthy? Sheesh.

@Jane re allergies, I will say my family has always had cats and I was always fine, but when I moved out there was a period of about a month or so before I moved my cats into the apartment, and when I did I suddenly had difficulty breathing for like a week and then my body chilled out again. Exposure I guess, just gotta suffer it out and show your body who's boss. @Andy maybe try the same with peanuts, who knows
